Actually - good point. This implies they're using a trouble ticket system with an email handler as you need to put the reply in a specific place within the body of the reply message. They're probably just not always skimming back over the ticket to see what information has already been provided. This could well be because they're totally overloaded but it does rather defeat the object of recording the previous communication if they ignore it.
[edit] - they're using help desk software called Zendesk. It mentions it at the top of an email reply to me!
